How many contractors and builders are listed across the New York City metro?
Three right now, in New York, Brooklyn and Long Island City. The list grows as businesses are recommended, checked and added.
What makes a business inclusive on Inclusivity.org?
Every listing shows why it is here, with a source you can check: the owner's own statement, a public listing such as a chamber directory, or a recognized certification. Some are owned by the communities they serve and some are allies who welcome everyone. We never list someone's identity without a source.
How do I check a contractor's license?
Your state or city licensing board has a public lookup. Check that the license matches the kind of work, and ask for a certificate of insurance before anyone starts.
How many bids should I get?
Two or three written bids is a good rule. Compare what each includes, who pulls the permits and how payments are scheduled, not just the total.
Is it free to be listed?
Yes. A basic listing is free, and owners can claim and update theirs at any time. Featured and Enhanced listings get more room on the page, and being listed never depends on them.
How do I suggest a contractor that is missing?
Use Recommend a business at the bottom of this page. We research every suggestion, and nothing goes live until it has been checked.
Know a contractor we're missing?
Tell us who they are and we'll do the research. Nothing goes live until we've checked it, and we never list someone's identity without a source.
